With no limiting factors to the growth of the plants, the number of months have passed since the plants were first introduced is 23.1.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
Exponential function is the function in which the function growth or decay with the power of the independent variable. The curve of the exponential function depends on the value of its variable.
A type of plant is introduced into an ecosystem and quickly begins to take over.
A scientist counts the number of plants after m months and develops the equation to model the situation, which is given as,

Most recently, the scientist counted 138 plants.

Taking log both sides of the equation,

Thus, with no limiting factors to the growth of the plants, the number of months have passed since the plants were first introduced is 23.1.

Idk if ya still need it or if this will help but this is what i put for mine
Concepts that I had previously learned about are quite important because math goes hand and hand. if you try to skip something and go ahead you'll most likely get confused because there could of been something highly important to that would help you understand whats ahead. in the previous unit it tells you about triangles and their description like a right triangle-90 degree angle and where legs and hypotenuse is located, this unit has had a ton about right triangles.
